Exciting Addition!
In my attempt to create a culturally diverse and visually exciting image curriculum that is also "VTSable," I am proposing to add "Dancers at a Teahouse in Furnichi near Ise" to the image curriculum for this unit. I will be "test-driving" the image with my Unit B (Grades 2 & 3) students at RWE within the next week or so and will report on its success (or lack thereof). I can't imagine that it won't be extremely successful and propose that it be used to introduce the Arts of Japan as we explore the connections between Visual Art, Communication Arts, and Social Studies (Geography & Culture).
